Deleting all local printer drivers off Windows XP SP1

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

I want to delete all local printer drivers off an Windows XP SP1 client.
Can I just stop the spooler service and then delete all files under
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86? What happen we have a printer
queue on a windows 2003 and we change the driver on the server. The
change is not being reflected on the clients.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
